Objectionable/false content based on guidelines and edited by people who are just as moronic as the people who put those objectionable/false comments on in the first place.
Paper encyclopedias are useless unless they are from a certain encyclopedia publisher. Wikipedia is editable by anyone. It's a piece of crap. %90 of the information is unreliable junk ripped from some other site/place with unreliable junk.
Internet rumors and worthless facts abound. The administrators always joust away relevant and important content just because it doesn't fit into their minute guidelines.
Wikipedia is horrendous face it, the HP Lovecraft section is absolutely painful to read in its inaccuracy (with all the pointless urban legends and such purported as fact).
It's run by human beings on the internet. And we all know how the majority of those people are idiots.
Hell, I made a joke edit of some random album page a year ago on there and it's STILL there, just because I made it subtle. It wasn't that subtle though, which just proves that Wikipedia is controlled by subhuman knuckleheads.
